About Oxfordshire Sportflying

Oxfordshire Sport Flying operates from Enstone Aerodrome in Oxfordshire and presents itself as a friendly, club style place to learn, with a clear specialism in motor gliding. It describes Enstone as having both a tarmac and grass runway, which can help with flexibility across the year and gives students a varied training environment. For newcomers, Oxfordshire Sport Flying offers hands on trial flying lessons, promoted as one to one flights with a qualified instructor and time on the controls, aimed at giving a genuine taste of what learning to fly feels like. For people who want to continue, it supports private pilot training with routes that include NPPL options and training on touring motor gliders, plus pathways for pilots who want to develop beyond a first licence. A notable strength is its support for glider pilots moving into powered flying. The school highlights conversion style training and endorsements, including cross country endorsement support, helping glider pilots broaden their flying and make practical use of self launching motor gliders. It also encourages visiting pilots to drop in, with published PPR guidance and an emphasis on a welcoming atmosphere on the ground as well as in the air.
